When I first joined the Navy, Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen made a movie called "The Final Countdown" on the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz I was on. I was a photographer in the Navy and I got to meet both of them, and all the cast. It was exciting for a 19 year old kid to meet so many famous actors. BTW...It took place in the Pacific, but we never left the Atlantic Ocean for filming.
From my cruise book
My math skills are fairly good so I was able to calculate mine in my head in about 12 seconds. I’m sure there are others who have even better math skills who could do it in 9 seconds.
The FDA can't ban batteries. But they can ban the vape devices that use them. I'm talking about removeable lithium batteries here.
I think FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security may have the authority to ban removeable lithium batteries should they deem them too dangerous for commercial sale purposes.

I remember the movie well. It was a little cheesy but kind of interesting. Had to be a cool experience. Nice break from launching planes all day.
I'm sure most of this has been covered.
I've been finishing up here. Keeping Fasttech in business buying coil heads. I already have 2 gallon bags or so of mostly Kanger and Aspire tanks. Another one halfway full of cheap RDA's. Two full of various coil heads.
Another one of building supplies, even though wire is one of the things the FDA can't touch. All of these wires are used for other applications in much greater quantity. Vaping can't account for more than a small percentage of Kanthal, for example. Very popular in jewelry making.
I bought a gallon of 100mg nic base. 100VG, salt nicotine.
I also have over 200 cartos, and I know how to make them rival RDA's. Probably not as well as Kat, but I'm good with them. I can keep one going for a couple of weeks or more. Coil heads and cartos last a long time, with my 1% flavor.
Batteries are off limits, too. 18650 flashlights are quite popular. I live in search and rescue central. S&R volunteers, hunters, campers,, hikers, etc are much more serious about flashlights than we are, and many use 18650 flashlights. Not to mention law enforcement. I personally have flashlights in 18650, 18500, and 18350 (we keep one of those in the car--it can light up a room pretty brightly).
5 regulated mods that are used mostly as test fixtures. A few pass through devices (semi mechs?), and several dozen mechs. I bought a few more Melo 3 series tanks, partly because the coil heads are cheap, and partly because they rock. I bought all 6 colors of Joyetech ProCore Air Plus tanks, even though the coil heads are relatively expensive. Which I also bought a few boxes of.
I've had a severe case of shinyitis, fueled by the knowledge that some of these things may be going away for good.

The last package I got from FT was labelled Filters.
US customs, when it comes to small parcels, is a joke. And that's all I'm going to say on the topic.
Yes, MTL RDA's are a thing. Check out the Hussar v1, VA Apex, Parvum or Venna RDA's. I have those (and a many more). They are all excellent for MTL, flavor is great and come with BF pins if you squonk. I really like the Hussar v1 and VA Apex. FT has the clones. Another would be the Atmizoo Creek RDA. The Creek is in my top three and is very awesome for flavor and squonking.
I had to chuckle when you mentioned cartos. I have more than a lifetime supply from Ikenvape. Each one lasts me a long time. It pays to see the writting on the wall sometimes.
